Abstract
a1111111111 Electrodermal activity (EDA) is an electrical property of the human skin, correlated with per-

son’s psychological arousal. Nowadays, different types of EDA measuring devices are used
a1111111111
a1111111111 in highly versatile fields–from research, health-care and education to entertainment industry.
But despite their universal use the quality of their measuring function (their accuracy) is
questioned or investigated very seldom. In this paper, we propose a concept of an EDA
patient simulator—a device enabling metrological testing of EDA devices by means of a var-

In clinical settings and applied psychology EDA is often used for stress, pain and sleep stud-

[11–19]. EDA was used also in ICT (information and communications technology) and enter-
tainment [20–24], education [25,26] and food industry research [27,28].
In general, biomedical devices are clinically validated by means of a comparison with a ref-
erence device, both used on an adequately large population of human subjects. Involvement of
a large group of needed subjects and logistical, ethical and practical issues are the reason for
complexity and high cost of clinical validations. Therefore, other means of evaluation of
devices are envisaged, e.g. simplifications of comparison protocols, reduction of number of
participants. One of the possible solutions are patient simulators.
Patient simulators are devices substituting patients. They offer a controlled way of evalu-
ating biomedical measuring devices. A simulator is a device for imitating a physical phe-
nomenon and is used for testing reliability, robustness and accuracy of a measuring device.
Patient simulators are devices used for testing and/or calibrating biomedical devices, which
measure physiological parameters. Their primary function is to generate signals, equal or
similar to real physiological ones in order to test the measuring accuracy of devices measur-
ing these signals. A well-known example are blood pressure (BP) patient simulators [29–
31]. BP simulators are electromechanical devices, capable of generating air pressure pulses,
which are fed to BP monitor. The air pulses, which can have artificial or physiological
shapes are used to test the repeatability, stability and even accuracy of non-invasive BP
monitors. Similarly, patient simulators for ECG, EEG, heart-rate and pulse oximetry are
used [32,33].
An EDA simulator is a device capable of generating typical skin conductance (SC) wave-
forms, which facilitate metrological checks of any EDA measuring device in both static and
dynamic conditions. As always the case with any device equipped with measuring function,
also EDA devices are of different levels of metrological quality. I.e. their measuring error and
measuring uncertainty can be very diverse, and consequently their reliability more or less
questionable. In order to get reliable, accurate and repeatable measuring results, metrological
checks or tests of EDA devices should be performed regularly.
Electrodermal activity
EDA signal primarily contains two pieces of information–the level of the signal and the
response of the signal. Tonic, slowly changing part of the SC signal is named skin conductance
level (SCL). Fast phasic pulses are called electrodermal responses, or skin conductance
responses (SCR). SCL value indicates the level of psychological arousal of the subject, while the
number of SCRs are a measure of subject’s momentary arousal and represents pulses in skin
conductance signal (Fig 1). SCR occur where EDA amplitudes exceed a certain threshold in a
certain time period (e.g. pulses occurring less than 9 seconds after the beginning of the increase
and having amplitudes larger than 0.02 uS) [3,34]. Commonly SCRs are estimated after 0.05
Hz high pass filtering and employment of a response threshold of 0.01 to 0.05 uS [35]. Number
of SCR per minute is a measure of the subject’s arousal. As a rule-of-a-thumb, values of a cou-
ple of SCR per minute indicate the subject is in relaxed state (baseline) and values above 20
SCR/min indicate an aroused subject [1,34].
Typical values of raw EDA depend strongly on individuals and experimental situations and
can vary considerably, but usually skin conductance level (SCL) ranges up to a couple of tens

of microsiemens [1,3]. In terms of phasic skin conductance, SCR amplitudes can typically
range from the threshold to a maximum of around a couple of uS.
EDA devices
There are two general forms of EDA devices, based on two methods—endosomatic and exoso-
matic. Endosomatic method does not apply any external current, and exosomatic applies an
external current to the skin. Three main measuring methods can be identified: i) endosomatic
method, ii) AC exosomatic method (applying AC current) and iii) DC exosomatic method
(applying DC current via electrodes) [1].
Fig 2. Via electrodes (black) DC exosomatic measuring instrument applies a DC voltage of up to U = 1 V to the
skin. By measuring the ratio of applied voltage U and resulting current I skin conductance G can be calculated (G = I /
U).

https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0228949.g003
Exosomatic measurements by means of a DC current (Fig 2), represent the basis of today’s
most widely used instruments. They are predominantly used because of their simplicity, the
need for only two electrodes, and possibility of monitoring both tonic and phasic EDA signals.
They do, however, lack some advantages of endosomatic method (which is a very unobtrusive
method with no special amplifying and coupling systems needed) and AC exosomatic method
(no electrode polarization issues) [1,36]. There is a huge variety of EDA devices available (por-
table, battery powered, embedded or built-in in other settings (e.g. into a computer mouse or
steering wheel), with wet or dry electrodes, equipped with only SCL measurement function or
additional SCR detection built-in algorithm, logging function etc.).
Sampling frequency of a typical EDA device should be in the order of 10 Hz and above, but
this strongly depends on the signal processing the researcher wants to perform. If phasic skin
conductance response (SCR) and other fast changing events in electrodermal activity are
needed, the sampling rate should be at least 200 Hz, 1 kHz or even 2 kHz being the most com-
mon values with the desktop laboratory measuring systems [3,34]. Wearable and especially
wireless streaming systems usually have a lower acquisition rate (up to 32 Hz).
Typical acquired raw EDS signal is shown in Fig 3.

result in an increase of the SC level after a second or so. Note, that if such tests fail, even when
the EDA device works, the subject could be a non-responder (there are between 5% and 25%
of non-responders in normal population) [3,34].
For a more thorough test of the dynamics of EDA instrumentation, we are proposing a con-
cept of a EDA patient simulator, which can be used as a reliable and repeatable device for test-
ing the dynamic functionality and measuring reliability of a EDA device.

measuring skin conductance on the user’s wrists are used today. To test these, the simulator
has built-in EDA terminals, which can be connected to the device’s electrodes by simple leads.
One of the basic differences in the waveform of presented EDA simulator in comparison
with the real, physiological waveform of human skin is the shape of the time series (Fig 8).
Although the simulator waveform looks symmetric and quite artificial, we consider a simpli-
fied signal like the one on Fig 8 (right) suitable for the purpose of testing the functionality and
basic accuracy of EDA device. For more comprehensive evaluations, the physiology-based sig-
nals should be used.

measuring error and estimating the uncertainty budget of the EDA device (for details on met-
rological calibration of EDA devices see [38,39]). After a certain transient time (typically under
0.5 s), time stability of the simulator was estimated by calculating the standard deviation of the
output and was in the order of 0.05 uS. Which suffices for the majority of applications using
EDA monitoring.
In addition to static calibration, dynamic evaluation of the low-cost EDA device was per-
formed. Reference signal of different amplitudes and different SCR pattern was generated by
the simulator (Figs 5 and 10). Maximal dynamic error and uncertainty of an EDA device was
calculated to estimate the accuracy of EDA device versus the simulator output. We tested a
number of different EDA devices and the errors and uncertainties were below 0.1 uS and 0.3
uS, respectively, error being difference between the EDA reading and simulator setting, and
the uncertainty calculated as geometrical sum of simulator’s uncertainty, repeatability and
reproducibility of the measurement, EDA device repeatability and resolution, resolution of
simulator (for details on dynamic evaluations of biomedical instrumentation see [29,38,39]).
In addition to classical (SCL measuring) EDA devices, the simulator’s performance was
tested also using an EDA device, equipped with an automated SCR detection function. Differ-
ent frequencies of occurrence of SCR pulses were set on simulator (Fig 10 shows the EDA
device acquisition waveform). In addition, EDA device’s SCR detection algorithm could be

tested. Fig 11 shows raw signal of the EDA device acquired with simulator set to two different
amplitudes of the SCR. Tested EDA device’s automated SCR detection was set to a 0.3 uS
threshold and the water drops indicate the detected SCR (Fig 11).
Table 1 contains the performance of the EDA simulator regarding stability. If we define a
target uncertainty for a common EDA measuring device of approx. 0.1 uS, the results show,
that the built simulator is adequately stable to reliably check common EDA measuring devices.

In this paper a concept of an EDA simulator for testing EDA devices is, to the best of our
knowledge, presented for the first time. EDA simulator is a device capable of generating artifi-
cial waveforms of electrical resistance, in part similar to physiological ones. The simulator’s
main purpose is evaluating the functionality and measuring quality of an EDA device. We pre-
sented the simulator’s design and basic functionality. Different levels of static EDA signal can
be set (i.e. different SCL level). In addition, SCR pulses can be generated, varying in amplitudes
and occurring frequency.
While the embedded optocoupler is an elegant solution for constructing a variable resistor,
at the same time it is also a major limitation of the proposed EDA simulator. Optocouplers are

electronic elements not intended for precise operation and during our design, the optimal
optocoupler was selected from a batch of elements which had consistent resistance values
within the range. The inaccuracies resulted in a certain instability of shape and amplitudes of
the generated waveform (see pulses in Fig 11). In the process of dynamic evaluation, an addi-
tional simulator limitation is originating from the use of optocoupler—latency of up to 100
ms. The time constant is in the order of seconds (Fig 5), therefore test of EDA device should
only be performed after a transient time. Another error source could in principle be the opto-
couplers temperature dependence, which in our experiments was controlled by maintaining
stable laboratory environmental conditions.
EDA simulators main objective is to determine EDA device’s accuracy and functionality
(e.g. checking its algorithm for SCR detection). Using tests of different EDA devices (with dry
stainless steel and gold electrodes, clamp dry electrodes, wet Ag/AgCl electrodes, continuous
and intermittent measurements), the built EDA simulator was proven to represent a reliable
apparatus for quick tests and even thorough evaluations of any EDA device. Nevertheless, for
reliable electrodermal activity measurements, in addition to tests using the EDA simulator,
repeatability of an EDA devices should still be additionally evaluated using measurements on a
human subject (instructing actions like deep breaths, coughing, scratching, pinching which
should result in an increase of the SCL).
A very useful feature of the EDA simulator would be capability of testing several devices
simultaneously. This would allow for a fast check of numerous devices (e.g. for experiments in
education, where around 30 devices are worn by the pupils and they all need to be checked
periodically [41]). The current simulator design is not capable of providing stable resistance
values for two or more EDA devices, since the current they are feeding to the simulator’s fin-
gers interfered with each other measuring function and the simulator itself. The future ver-
sions of simulator design are planned to include this feature.
It has to be noted that the generated signal has an artificial, non-physiological shape, i.e. it
is only an approximation of real physiological electrodermal signal. Which in fact is true also
for the majority of other patient simulators (e.g. BP, oximetry) [29,30,32]. In the future, real
physiological waveforms could be acquired for a more genuine depiction of the dynamics of
the human skin. In principle, the future simulator should be able to generate a wider range of
EDA behaviours, e.g. moving artefacts, complex changes of both SCL and simultaneous SCR.
